What does this PR do?

Type of change: refactor (no functional change)

[1/2] of a split. Merge this first; #2514 is [2/2] and is based on this branch.

Three example scripts had each reimplemented the same MLflow wiring: the flags, the $USER/<tool>/<model>-<variant> experiment convention, the params/tags/artifacts a run uploads, and the open/close dance with its status. The copies had already drifted — only hf_ptq wrote a provenance pointer, only vllm_serve republished the resolved URI — and every new tracked script meant another copy.

What a script records is now one declarative Tool record, declared in the script itself, beside the flags it reads:

# examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py
QUANTIZE = Tool(
    name="megatron_bridge_quantize",
    tracks="Track this run on an MLflow server, uploading the command, the resolved recipe, ...",
    variant_help="recipe name, or --quant_cfg if no --recipe",
    variant=lambda args: Path(args.recipe).stem if args.recipe else (args.quant_cfg or "none"),
    model=lambda args: args.hf_model_name_or_path,
    checkpoint=lambda args: args.export_megatron_path,
    texts=lambda args: resolved_recipe_texts(args.recipe),
    outputs=lambda args: {"summary/quant_summary.txt": Path(args.export_megatron_path) / ".quant_summary.txt"},
)

tracked_run takes that record and runs the whole thing, so a script adds tracking in three lines: add_mlflow_args(parser, TOOL), resolve_mlflow_args(args, parser, TOOL), and with mlflow_run(args, TOOL):. The shared module knows no script's flags.

examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py move onto it. Three helpers fall away as redundant (track_run, checkpoint_run_tags, and hf_ptq's two flag pass-throughs).

Usage

No user-facing change. The flags, their spellings and the experiment naming are exactly as before; a script author now writes a Tool instead of four functions.

Testing

  • tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py, tests/examples/hf_ptq/test_hf_ptq_args.py, tests/examples/vllm_serve/test_vllm_mlflow_utils.py — 179 pass.
  • tests/examples/megatron_bridge in nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:26.08 (the only lane that runs it), which drives quantize.py for real: 17 passed.
  • pre-commit run --files <changed>: all hooks pass.
  • The four suites shared four copies of a stand-in for the mlflow module, which had drifted — one recorded artifacts as a list, another as a dict, a third made log_artifact a no-op, so a test asserting on an upload asserted nothing. They now share one tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py, which also emulates the fluent API's habit of opening a run when none is active.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — track_run and checkpoint_run_tags are removed, but neither shipped in a release (0.47.0's __all__ is MlflowRunLogger, command_text, current_user, default_experiment_name, validate_tracking_uri, all unchanged here). Two deliberate behaviour changes: hf_ptq's source_checkpoint_path tag now resolves to an absolute path where it recorded the raw argument, which is needed for a chain to join on the pair; and MlflowRunLogger.track() — which did ship in 0.47.0 — now records a block ending in SystemExit(0) as FINISHED where it recorded FAILED, since a script that ends by calling sys.exit() rather than returning has still finished. Both branches are tested.
  • If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: N/A
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅
  • Did you update Changelog?: N/A — no user-visible change; the entry is in [2/2].
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: several rounds; re-requested on this head.

Additional Information

Split out of #2514. This half is the enabling refactor with no behaviour change; #2514 is the feature it unlocks and is based on this branch. At ~605 changed lines of core logic it is over the ~500 guideline; the owner accepted a two-PR split rather than three, and everything #2514 alone consumes — split_tracking_credentials, log_active_run_experiment_json, MlflowRunLogger._reattach — lands there rather than here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Shared MLflow utilities now use Tool descriptors for run metadata, argument handling, and tracking. They manage run closure and checkpoint provenance. HF PTQ, Megatron Bridge, and vLLM serve use the shared interfaces.

Changes

Shared MLflow tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool-based tracking metadata and run descriptions
modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py
Tool callbacks provide metadata for CLI arguments, experiment defaults, tags, parameters, texts, and outputs. Shared helpers build run descriptions and tags from the descriptor.
Run lifecycle and checkpoint provenance
modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_mlflow.py, tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py, tests/conftest.py
tracked_run configures runs, gathers inputs for tracked runs, and manages checkpoint pointers and provenance. Run closure marks normal completion and clean SystemExit as FINISHED; other exits are FAILED. Tests use shared MLflow fakes and environment fixtures.
Example tool configuration and wiring
examples/hf_ptq/*, examples/megatron_bridge/*, examples/vllm_serve/vllm_mlflow_utils.py, tests/examples/hf_ptq/*, tests/examples/megatron_bridge/*, tests/examples/vllm_serve/*
HF PTQ, Megatron Bridge, and vLLM serve define or pass tool descriptors to shared MLflow utilities. Their tests use the shared interfaces.

Bot review (claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Requesting changes: the PR has 740 lines of core logic (over the 500-line budget), including #2514-only code that nothing here calls, and it is labelled "no functional change" even though MlflowRunLogger.finish now behaves differently.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split this PR into stacked [x/N] PRs (740 core-logic lines; the budget is 500). Moving the #2514-only code out first may be enough. Otherwise: [1/2] adds Tool/tracked_run/describe_run/run_tags in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py plus the shared FakeMlflow; [2/2] moves hf_ptq, vllm_serve and megatron_bridge/quantize.py onto them. Merge in order, each PR green on its own with its own tests, siblings linked.
  • Move split_tracking_credentials, log_active_run_experiment_json and default_run_name (and their tests) into #2514. Nothing in this PR uses them.
  • Move _reattach/_closed_as into #2514, or correct the PR body. finish() can now forward a co-owner's KILLED/FAILED status, reopen a closed run, or skip uploads, so this is not a no-op refactor.
  • Remove the scaffolding for later PRs from tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_mlflow_utils.py: the five empty section headers, _FLOAT_FLAGS, and the --export_iterations branch.
  • Justify dropping test_the_environment_alone_enables_tracking from test_mlflow.py, or restore it. The other deleted tests are still covered by the example suites.

No action needed:

  • Design check passed: Tool merges three drifted in-repo copies into one, rather than adding a second system.

Claude review — [1/2] One MLflow tracking core behind a Tool record

Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 1 · SUGGESTION 3

Scope reviewed: all 12 changed files. Full hunk review of modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py (+348/-82) plus surrounding context (MlflowRunLogger.start/finish/_log_outputs/_stop_capture, validate_tracking_uri, resolve_tracking_uri), all four examples/ files, and tests/conftest.py / tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py. Note for anyone reproducing: a two-dot git diff origin/main HEAD on this shallow checkout also pulls in main-only churn (modelopt/torch/export/convert_hf_config.py, examples/llm_distill/README.md) that is not part of this PR — I scoped to the 12 files gh pr view reports.

Most impactful finding

tool.metrics(args) is evaluated inside the finally of _closing_run (mlflow.py:1103). It is an argument to logger.finish(...), so if it raises, finish() never runs: no end_run() (the run is left RUNNING on the server), no _stop_capture() (stdout/stderr stay pointed at the tee and the log temp dir leaks), and the body's original exception is masked. The documented use — "something the run computed ... which the script stashes on its own namespace" — is exactly the shape that is missing on the failure path. Latent today (no Tool sets metrics, no test covers it), so this is about not shipping the trap into [2/2].

The three SUGGESTIONs: unused extension points (Tool.source / metrics / settles_pointer, and split_tracking_credentials / log_active_run_experiment_json, all test-only in this PR); split_tracking_credentials returning a credential-bearing URI instead of None on a scheme-less input; and the two no-op pass-through wrappers left in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py that examples/hf_ptq deleted in the same PR.

What I checked and found correct

The refactor holds up well against its "no functional change" claim:

  • Param sets are preserved exactly. _NEVER_PARAMS | Tool.non_params reproduces the old per-script exclusion sets for both hf_ptq (6 keys) and megatron_bridge (5 keys).
  • Lazy gathering is preserved. describe_run is still called only on the tracked branch, so an untracked run does not re-read the recipe and does not emit a second [load_recipe] loading: line.
  • Ordering through the exit is unchanged. start → body → log_experiment_json → finish matches the old track_run + logger.track nesting, and log_experiment_json still runs before _stop_capture().
  • world_size timing is safe. It is now evaluated eagerly at context entry rather than lazily, but quantize.py calls dist.setup() before get_args(), and the old code already evaluated dist.is_master() there — so dist.size() reports the real world size, not 1.
  • _reattach / _closed_as logic is sound. A co-owner's status is adopted only for FAILED/KILLED (both valid MLflow RunStatus values), a non-terminal RUNNING is correctly ignored, and skipping end_run when a different run is active is right — closing it would terminate a run this logger does not own.
  • SystemExit(0) now yields FINISHED rather than FAILED. A behaviour change, correct for Megatron-Bridge's exit-from-training-loop, and it does not alter propagation into quantize.py's except BaseException: dist.abort().
  • Public-API risk is contained. modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py does not star-export mlflow, so the add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args signature change and the track_run / checkpoint_run_tags removals are confined to modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow. I could not verify the "not in 0.47.0" claim directly (no tags in this shallow checkout) and took it at face value; a repo-wide grep confirms zero remaining references to either removed name in source, tests, examples or docs.
  • The source_checkpoint_path behaviour change is real and correctly called out in the PR description — run_tags resolves it when os.path.exists, keeping a Hub org/name id raw.
  • The shared FakeMlflow is a genuine improvement. Emulating _get_or_start_run() and counting strays means the four suites can no longer pass while asserting on a no-op, which was the actual bug in the old copies.

Risk

Low. Behaviour-preserving consolidation with real test coverage for the paths that ship; the one IMPORTANT finding and one SUGGESTION are both on brand-new code that has no caller yet, so fixing them costs nothing now and something later.

[2/2] Merges after #2544.

#2477 added MLflow tracking to examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py. It was one
of five scripts in that directory that write a checkpoint; the other four
recorded nothing, so the provenance chain stopped at the PTQ checkpoint and a
deployed model could not be traced back to the run that produced it.

prune_minitron.py, distill.py, export_quantized_megatron_to_hf.py and
export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py now take the same flags, each declaring what
it records as a Tool. Each writes .experiment.json into the checkpoint it
produced and tags what it consumed, so prune -> quantize -> distill -> export is
walkable both from disk and by tag query.

distill.py opens the run rather than being wrapped by one: Megatron-Bridge's
LoggerConfig records per-iteration metrics and the full resolved config, which a
wrapper cannot see, and it joins mlflow.active_run() when there is one. So the
run is opened on the rank Megatron-Bridge looks at -- the last one -- and the
two share it. Its early exit is handled explicitly: train() leaves through
sys.exit(0) on --exit_interval, which a blanket handler would record as FAILED.

The library pieces that exist for that shared run land here with their first
caller rather than in [1/2]: split_tracking_credentials, so a URI handed to
something which records it carries no credential; log_active_run_experiment_json,
for pointing a checkpoint at a run this process did not open; and
MlflowRunLogger._reattach, because a co-owner can end the run first --
Megatron-Bridge does, as KILLED, when SIGTERM arrives mid-training.

Two of Megatron-Bridge's defaults are deliberately not inherited: checkpoint
artifact upload stays off unless --mlflow_log_checkpoints, and an untracked run
passes no mlflow_* fields at all, since they landed in Megatron-Bridge 0.6 and
sending them unconditionally would break an untracked run on an older one.

Thanks — pushed a95a255f05 addressing all five items, plus the metric-callback bug CodeRabbit and Claude both found independently.

On the two checklist items I did not do as asked:

Splitting further. This series is deliberately two PRs, not three — that was the call after I presented both carves. Moving the #2514-only code out, as you suggested as the alternative, took this PR from 740 to 601 core-logic lines and #2514 from 412 to 566, so the two halves are now balanced rather than one being under and one over. Both are over the 500 budget by about a fifth; splitting again would put the Tool record in one PR and its only callers in another, which I do not think reviews better.

test_the_environment_alone_enables_tracking. It is not lost — it lives in tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_mlflow_utils.py in this PR, where it exercises $MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI through a real parser and a real Tool instead of a synthetic namespace. Same for the other two library CLI tests I dropped. The rule I applied across this series: when an example suite proves a flag end to end, the library suite does not restate it.

Summary of the code changes:

Item Change
split_tracking_credentials, log_active_run_experiment_json moved to #2514 with their tests and the ForeignMlflow double
_reattach / _closed_as moved to #2514 — finish() here is 0.47.0's behaviour again, so "no functional change" is accurate
default_run_name kept: MlflowRunLogger._open_run calls it (line 602)
Test scaffolding five empty section headers, _FLOAT_FLAGS and the --export_iterations branch removed
tool.metrics(args) / exported() read defensively, so a callback that raises cannot skip finish() and leave the run RUNNING

Testing: 198 unit tests here, 266 on #2514, pre-commit clean on both. The container suite last ran on the pre-move trees (40 passed on this branch, 93 on #2514); I will re-run both before either merges.

Nudge: every earlier correctness concern is fixed. The one blocker left is size: 601 core-logic lines is over the 500-line budget, and none of the size exceptions applies.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split this PR into stacked PRs, or have the owner waive the budget, since the operator prefers not to split further. Suggested split: [1/3] adds Tool, run_tags, describe_run and tracked_run in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py (about 290 lines), plus the shared FakeMlflow and the library tests. [2/3] moves examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge onto it (about 310 lines). [3/3] is #2514. Merge in that order. Each PR must pass CI on its own and link its siblings.
  • Remove leftovers from moving _reattach and split_tracking_credentials out:
    • FakeMlflow.get_run, active_run and resumed, and the run_id branch of start_run.
    • The pin_tracking_env comment that names split_tracking_credentials.
    • The "two writers" docstring on _experiment_json.
    • The "run this process did not open" section header in test_mlflow.py.
  • Optional: drop the pass-through add_mlflow_args/resolve_mlflow_args wrappers in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, so it matches hf_ptq.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review:
    • The #2514-only helpers and _reattach moved out, and finish() is back to its 0.47.0 behaviour.
    • The test scaffolding is gone.
    • Callbacks that raise can no longer skip finish(), and test_a_callback_that_raises_does_not_cost_the_run_its_close tests it.
    • test_the_environment_alone_enables_tracking now lives in the Megatron-Bridge suite, which justifies deleting it from test_mlflow.py.
  • Design check still passes: Tool merges three copies of the same MLflow wiring that had drifted apart, and adds no second system.

Pushed 689ebc5eec. All four leftovers are gone:

Leftover Now
FakeMlflow.get_run, active_run, resumed, start_run's run_id branch removed — grep confirms zero uses in this PR's four suites; #2514 re-adds them with _reattach
pin_tracking_env comment naming split_tracking_credentials reworded, no longer names a function that lives elsewhere
_experiment_json's "shared by the two writers" one writer again
# --- pointing a checkpoint at a run this process did not open --- removed; it sat above two run_tags tests it did not describe

I kept _get_or_start_run and its strays counter even though nothing here asserts on them. That emulation is the reason the shared fake exists: a fake that quietly swallows a call the real client would turn into a brand-new run is precisely what hid the stray-run defect found earlier in this series. It is behaviour, not scaffolding.

Optional item — the pass-through wrappers: keeping them, reasoning in the thread. They are pass-throughs only in this PR; in #2514 add_mlflow_args gains a body (--mlflow_log_checkpoints) and all five scripts import both names from mlflow_utils. Deleting them here would flip quantize.py's import twice across the series.

Size: the owner has waived the budget for this series — two PRs was the deliberate call after both carves were costed, and the move in the last round already rebalanced them to 600 / 571 rather than 740 / 412. Splitting the Tool record from its only callers would not review better.

Also fixed, from the line-level threads: split_tracking_credentials returned a schemeless user:tok@host URI verbatim, credential included — urlparse reads user as the scheme and leaves the rest in .path. It fails closed now. That landed in #2514 (8b84380754), since the function moved there this round.

Testing: 198 unit tests here, 267 on #2514, pre-commit clean on both. Container suite in nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:26.08: 40 passed on this branch's tree. Re-running it on #2514's now.

Bot review (claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

This is a nudge. Every concern from the last review is fixed, but the PR is 600 core-logic lines, over the 500-line budget, and none of the size exceptions applies. The author says the owner waived the budget; I can't verify that from the PR, so the owner has to confirm it.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split into stacked PRs, or have the owner confirm the waiver on the PR. Suggested split:

    • [1/3] Add the Tool tracking core: Tool, run_tags, describe_run, tracked_run and _closing_run in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, plus tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py and the test_mlflow.py changes (about 290 lines).
    • [2/3] Move the examples onto Tool: examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge, with their suites (about 310 lines).
    • [3/3] is #2514.

    Merge in that order. Each PR must pass CI on its own and link its siblings.

  • Optional: in FakeMlflow.start_run, reset self.tags instead of calling update on it (CodeRabbit's point). As written, tags from one run leak into the next run's assertions.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: all four leftovers from moving _reattach and split_tracking_credentials out:
    • FakeMlflow's get_run, active_run and resumed, and the run_id branch of start_run.
    • The pin_tracking_env comment.
    • The "two writers" docstring on _experiment_json.
    • The orphaned section header in test_mlflow.py.
  • The megatron_bridge pass-through wrappers stay, with a stated reason: #2514 gives add_mlflow_args a real body. That's reasonable.
  • The test deletions are justified:
    • The flag, env-var and relative-path cases dropped from the library suite are still covered by the example suites.
    • The removed _mlflow_logger asserts tested a helper this PR deletes.
  • The design check still passes: Tool merges three drifted copies of the same MLflow setup into one and doesn't add a second system.

of five scripts in that directory that write a checkpoint; the other four

deployed model could not be traced back to the run that produced it.

prune_minitron.py, distill.py, export_quantized_megatron_to_hf.py and

it records as a Tool. Each writes .experiment.json into the checkpoint it
produced and tags what it consumed, so prune -> quantize -> distill -> export is
walkable both from disk and by tag query.

distill.py opens the run rather than being wrapped by one: Megatron-Bridge's
LoggerConfig records per-iteration metrics and the full resolved config, which a
wrapper cannot see, and it joins mlflow.active_run() when there is one. So the
run is opened on the rank Megatron-Bridge looks at -- the last one -- and the
two share it. Its early exit is handled explicitly: train() leaves through
sys.exit(0) on --exit_interval, which a blanket handler would record as FAILED.

Took the optional one in dbb8a741cc. FakeMlflow.start_run replaces the tag dict instead of merging into it:

def start_run(self, run_name=None, tags=None, description=None):
    self.run_name = run_name
    # Replaced, not merged: a run starts with only the tags it was opened with, so an
    # earlier run's cannot satisfy an assertion about this one. set_tags adds to these.
    self.tags = dict(tags or {})

Worth being precise about what it fixes: it is not reachable today. Every test takes a fresh FakeMlflow from the fixture and opens one run, and nothing in this PR passes tags= to start_run at all — MlflowRunLogger opens the run bare and applies tags through set_tags, so the parameter only matters in #2514, where it models Megatron-Bridge's own start_run(run_name=..., tags=...) call. So this is the double modelling a run's tags rather than the fake's, not a bug being fixed.

#2514 carries the same change with its resume branch intact — a start_run(run_id=...) re-attaching to an existing run must not reset the tags it already has, so the replacement sits inside the if run_id is None: arm.

On the waiver: you are right that you cannot verify it from the PR, and I should not be the one asserting it. @kevalmorabia97 — this needs your explicit word on the thread. For the record, the ask was a two-PR split and slightly-over-budget was accepted; the rebalancing since then has this at 600 core-logic lines and #2514 at 571.

Testing: 198 unit tests here, 267 on #2514, pre-commit clean on both. Container suite re-running on #2514's tree now (its last run was invalidated when I switched branches under it).

Claude review — [1/2] One MLflow tracking core behind a Tool record

Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 1 · SUGGESTION 4

Scope reviewed. 12 changed files (682+/664−). Reviewed all of them: modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py (the core), all five example files, and the four test files plus tests/conftest.py and the new tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py. Nothing deliberately skipped.

A note on method, since it affected what I could diff: the checkout is shallow, so git diff origin/main HEAD -- modelopt/ examples/ pulled in a large amount of unrelated main-side churn (llm_distill/README.md, the IQ-format registry refactor, _auto_quantize_shapley.py's deletion). I scoped every diff to the 12 paths from gh pr view --json files and cross-checked each per-file line count against the API's additions/deletions — all 12 match exactly, so the diffs I reviewed are the real ones.

Verified good

I traced the refactor end-to-end and the equivalence claims hold where it counts:

  • Param sets are preserved exactly. _NEVER_PARAMS | tool.non_params reproduces both old frozensets: hf_ptq's old {checkpoint_exported, dist_state, mlflow, mlflow_experiment, mlflow_required, mlflow_run_name} and megatron's old set, member for member.
  • Ordering through the exit path is preserved. Old: logger.track(**describe()) → finally: log_experiment_json inside the block, then track's own finally: finish. New: logger.start(**described) then _closing_run(close) where close does log_experiment_json then finish. Same sequence, and metrics={} vs the old metrics=None is a no-op given _log_outputs' **(metrics or {}).
  • The is_main gate is not lost in the new path is not None guard: logger.enabled already folds in is_main, so non-main ranks take the untracked branch where the explicit is_main check still stands.
  • hf_ptq now passes args.mlflow or "" where it used to pass None; harmless, since enabled is bool(args.mlflow) and is_main either way.
  • Plugin laziness intact — mlflow is still imported inside _open_run(), never at module scope.
  • The shared FakeMlflow is a real improvement. Unifying four drifted copies is the right call, and _get_or_start_run()'s stray-run emulation catches a class of bug (uploading into a closed run) that the old dict-recording fakes hid by construction. clean_env being autouse only in modules that import it — with tests/conftest.py importing FakeMlflow/pin_tracking_env but not clean_env — correctly avoids making it global. The setenv-before-delenv trick in pin_tracking_env is a genuinely subtle monkeypatch fix.
  • Library-level CLI tests that disappeared are not lost coverage — test_flags_are_off_by_default, test_multiword_flags_accept_both_spellings and test_the_environment_alone_enables_tracking all still exist in the hf_ptq / megatron_bridge / vllm_serve suites.

Most impactful finding

_closing_run's new SystemExit arm changes MlflowRunLogger.track(), a released public API (MlflowRunLogger is in 0.47.0's __all__). SystemExit(0) inside a track() block used to record FAILED; it now records FINISHED. The change is correct for the Megatron-Bridge case the comment describes, but it is a second behaviour change beyond the one source_checkpoint_path change the PR's backward-compat section discloses, and it has no test anywhere — grep -rn SystemExit tests/ turns up only parser.error() assertions. Please disclose it and pin both branches with a test.

The four suggestions are non-blocking: an exported() callback left unguarded on the untracked path (asymmetric with the ask() guard this PR adds on the tracked path, and it can mask the user's real traceback); Tool.settles_pointer landing with no caller and no test; run_tags able to return a non-str join key; and a mlflow_utils docstring whose rationale is contradicted by quantize.py:80.

Also worth a look (not a code finding)

The PR description says this half adds split_tracking_credentials and log_active_run_experiment_json "because the Tool path needs them and [2/2] builds on them". Neither symbol exists anywhere in the tree — grep -rn 'split_tracking_credentials\|log_active_run_experiment_json' modelopt/ examples/ tests/ returns nothing, and neither is in __all__. Of the three helpers listed there only default_run_name actually landed. Worth correcting, since #2514 is stated to depend on them.

Risk assessment

Low. This is a well-executed consolidation: the Tool record is the right abstraction for the duplication it replaces, the declarative form reads clearly at each call site, and the test rework closes a real hole (a log_artifact no-op that made an upload assertion assert nothing). The param sets, tag semantics and exit ordering all survive the move intact, and the one genuine behaviour change I found is an improvement that simply needs documenting and testing rather than reverting.

Claude review — [1/2] One MLflow tracking core behind a Tool record

Findings: CRITICAL 0 · IMPORTANT 0 · SUGGESTION 2 — approving.

Scope reviewed: all 12 files gh pr view reports for this PR. Full hunk review of modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py (+193/-79) plus surrounding context (MlflowRunLogger.start / track / finish / log_experiment_json / _log_outputs / _stop_capture, drop_experiment_json, resolve_tracking_uri), all four examples/ files, and tests/conftest.py / tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py / the four suites. Reproduction note: a two-dot git diff origin/main HEAD on this shallow checkout also drags in main-only churn (the _auto_quantize_shapley and ggml deletions, modelopt/torch/export/*, examples/llm_distill/README.md) that is not part of this PR.

Previous round's blocker is fixed, and I verified the fix

The IMPORTANT finding from my last review — tool.metrics(args) evaluated as an argument to logger.finish(...) inside the finally, so a raising callback skipped end_run() and _stop_capture() and masked the body's exception — is resolved. _ask() now wraps both of the callbacks read on the way out (exported and metrics) on both exits, the defaults (False / {}) are the conservative ones, and test_a_callback_that_raises_does_not_cost_the_run_its_close covers it. Leaving the on-the-way-in callbacks (Tool.texts / outputs) unguarded is the right call: describe_run runs before start(), so nothing is open yet and failing loudly is correct.

What I checked and found correct

  • Param sets are preserved exactly. _NEVER_PARAMS | Tool.non_params reproduces the old per-script exclusion sets for both hf_ptq (6 keys) and megatron_bridge (5 keys).
  • Ordering through the exit is unchanged. start → body → log_experiment_json → finish matches the old track_run + logger.track nesting, and log_experiment_json still lands before _stop_capture(). The same described["files"] mapping goes to both start and finish, which is what the stale-file check in _log_outputs requires.
  • Lazy gathering is preserved. describe_run is still only reached on the tracked branch, so an untracked run does not re-read the recipe or emit a second [load_recipe] loading: line — and the three suites now patch it on the library, which is where tracked_run resolves it.
  • The mid-flight-disable path still behaves. With required=False and an unusable server, start() flips enabled off, close() then sees an empty run_info and drops the inherited pointer when the export completed — matching test_a_completed_export_clears_the_pointer_when_optional_tracking_fails.
  • world_size is safe to evaluate eagerly. dist.size() returns 1 rather than raising when torch.distributed is uninitialised, and dist.is_master() was already called eagerly at the same site, so nothing new is touched before dist.setup().
  • The None-checkpoint branch in tracked_run is strictly safer than what it replaced. --export_megatron_path is required=True and --export_path defaults to exported_model, so it is unreachable for both Tools here, but the old Path(checkpoint_dir) would have thrown on the untracked path for a None.
  • Public-API blast radius is contained. modelopt/torch/utils/__init__.py does not re-export mlflow at all, so the add_mlflow_args / resolve_mlflow_args signature changes and the track_run / checkpoint_run_tags removals are confined to modelopt.torch.utils.mlflow; a repo-wide grep finds zero surviving references to either removed name in source, tests, examples or docs. (I could not verify the "not in 0.47.0 __all__" claim directly — no tags in a shallow checkout — and took it at face value.)
  • Test coverage did not regress on the deletions. test_flags_are_off_by_default, test_multiword_flags_accept_both_spellings and test_the_environment_alone_enables_tracking all have live equivalents in the megatron_bridge, hf_ptq and vllm_serve suites.
  • The shared FakeMlflow is a real improvement. start_run replacing rather than merging tags (CodeRabbit's point, now applied), _get_or_start_run() counting strays, and log_artifact recording contents mean these suites can no longer pass while asserting against a no-op — which was the actual bug in the four drifted copies.

The two SUGGESTIONs

  1. The PR body's compat section names one behaviour change, but _closing_run adds a second to a released public API: MlflowRunLogger.track now closes FINISHED on SystemExit(0) where 0.47.0 recorded FAILED. The status is right; the body is stale.
  2. A second round of [2/2] scaffolding in tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_mlflow_utils.py — single-entry _SCRIPT_ARGS and _WIRING, a _parse(monkeypatch, ...) that no longer uses monkeypatch, and a one-element parametrize — mirrored by mlflow_run(args, tool) taking a Tool the module already owns.

Neither blocks. I did not re-raise the unused-extension-point concern (Tool.source / metrics / settles_pointer): all three have a live runtime path in run_tags / tracked_run, and you gave a stated reason for keeping them.

Risk

Low. Behaviour-preserving consolidation of three drifted copies into one declarative record, with the paths that ship covered by tests, and the one correctness trap from the last round closed and tested.

The status parameter is never read, so this test passes even if every exit code closes the run as FAILED. The reply says 7a3940d168 added the assertion, but it isn't in the file at the current head. Please add it after the with block:

    assert fake_mlflow.status == status

This is the only test that pins the track() behaviour change to a released API (SystemExit(0) now closes the run as FINISHED).

[2/2] Merges after #2544.

#2477 added MLflow tracking to examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py. It was one
of five scripts in that directory that write a checkpoint; the other four
recorded nothing, so the provenance chain stopped at the PTQ checkpoint and a
deployed model could not be traced back to the run that produced it.

prune_minitron.py, distill.py, export_quantized_megatron_to_hf.py and
export_distilled_megatron_to_hf.py now take the same flags, each declaring what
it records as a Tool beside its own flags. Each writes .experiment.json into the
checkpoint it produced and tags what it consumed, so prune -> quantize ->
distill -> export is walkable both from disk and by tag query.

distill.py opens the run rather than being wrapped by one: Megatron-Bridge's
LoggerConfig records per-iteration metrics and the full resolved config, which a
wrapper cannot see, and it joins mlflow.active_run() when there is one. So the
run is opened on the rank Megatron-Bridge looks at -- the last one -- and the
two share it. Its early exit is handled explicitly: train() leaves through
sys.exit(0) on --exit_interval, which a blanket handler would record as FAILED.

The shared wiring these four need lands here with them: distill_run,
logger_kwargs, checkpoint_marker and the two record_* helpers in mlflow_utils,
plus split_tracking_credentials, log_active_run_experiment_json and
MlflowRunLogger._reattach in the library -- the last because a co-owner can end
the run first, as Megatron-Bridge does on SIGTERM.

Two of Megatron-Bridge's defaults are deliberately not inherited: checkpoint
artifact upload stays off unless --mlflow_log_checkpoints, and an untracked run
passes no mlflow_* fields at all, since they landed in Megatron-Bridge 0.6 and
sending them unconditionally would break an untracked run on an older one.

Bot review (claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Requesting changes: the SystemExit test is fixed, but the head brings back #2514 leftovers from earlier rounds, and the PR is still over the size budget.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split this PR into stacked PRs. It has 605 core-logic lines against a 500-line budget. "Mostly refactoring" is not one of the exceptions, so a split, or a waiver the owner posts on the PR, is still needed.
    • [1/3] Tool, run_tags, describe_run, tracked_run and _closing_run in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, plus tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py and test_mlflow.py (about 270 lines).
    • [2/3] moves examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge onto it (about 330 lines).
    • [3/3] is #2514.
  • Remove the five empty section headers again from the end of tests/examples/megatron_bridge/test_mlflow_utils.py (export, distill, seams, pruning, distilled-export). They were removed in a95a255f05 and are back.
  • Drop the pass-through add_mlflow_args and resolve_mlflow_args in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py, which 0a684c9f60 had removed. The comment says the wrapper "has something to add", but it adds nothing here.
  • Fix the mlflow_run docstring and comment in examples/megatron_bridge/mlflow_utils.py. They name distill_run and record_exported_checkpoint, which don't exist in this PR.
  • Move the args.mlflow = None reset to #2514, or disclose it and test it. It changes behaviour, and nothing in this PR reads it.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review: test_a_block_that_exits_cleanly_is_a_finished_run now asserts fake_mlflow.status == status.
  • The design check still passes, and the test deletions are still justified.

Size waiver (repo owner). This work is intentionally split as 2 PRs, not 3: #2544 is the shared tracking core, #2514 is the examples/megatron_bridge wiring on top. Each stands alone, builds, and carries its own tests.

This PR is ~599 lines of source against the ~500-line budget. A third split would have to cut mid-module — separating MlflowRunLogger from the Tool record it exists to serve — leaving a PR whose code has no callers. The overage is accepted; please review as-is.

[1/2] Merges with #2514 after this.

Three example scripts had each reimplemented the same tracking wiring: the
flags, the $USER/<tool>/<model>-<variant> experiment convention, the params and
tags and artifacts a run uploads, and the open/close dance with its status. The
copies had already drifted -- only hf_ptq wrote a provenance pointer, only
vllm_serve republished the resolved URI -- and every new script meant another
copy.

What a script records is now one declarative Tool record, declared in the script
itself beside the flags it reads: which arguments name its model, its checkpoint
and what it consumed, what it uploads, what it measures. tracked_run takes that
record and runs the whole thing, so a script adds tracking in three lines.
examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge/quantize.py
move onto it with no change in behaviour, beyond hf_ptq's source_checkpoint_path
tag now resolving to an absolute path so it can join the run that produced its
input.

The four test suites shared four copies of a stand-in for the mlflow module,
which had drifted far enough that one made log_artifact a no-op -- a test
asserting on an upload asserted nothing. They now share one.

Bot review (claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.

I'm marking this nudge. The code is ready, and everything the last review flagged is fixed at this head. The PR is still 599 core-logic lines against the 500-line budget. The owner waived that on the PR, but a waiver isn't one of the size exceptions, so a human has to make the merge call.

Needs action:

  • ✂️ Split this PR into stacked [x/N] PRs, or merge on the owner's posted waiver. The waiver says two PRs, not three, is deliberate. If you do split:
    • [1/3] Add the Tool tracking core: Tool, run_tags, describe_run, tracked_run and _closing_run in modelopt/torch/utils/mlflow.py, plus tests/_test_utils/mlflow.py, tests/conftest.py and test_mlflow.py (about 272 lines).
    • [2/3] Move the examples onto Tool: examples/hf_ptq, examples/vllm_serve and examples/megatron_bridge, with their test suites (about 327 lines).
    • [3/3] is #2514.
    • Merge in that order. Each PR must pass CI on its own and link its siblings.

No action needed:

  • ✔️ Resolved since the last review:
    • The five empty section headers are gone again.
    • The megatron_bridge pass-through wrappers are dropped, and quantize.py now imports from the library.
    • The mlflow_run docstring no longer names #2514-only functions.
    • The args.mlflow = None reset has moved out of this PR.
  • The design check still passes: Tool merges three copies of the same MLflow setup that had drifted apart, and doesn't add a second system.
  • The test deletions are still justified: the removed cases are covered by the example suites.
  • The new test helper carries the standard NVIDIA Apache header.
